<p>Perl 5.32.1 represents approximately 7 months of development since Perl 5.32.0 and contains approximately 7,000 lines of changes across 80 files from 23 authors.</p>

<p>Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were approximately 1,300 lines of changes to 23 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.</p>

<p>Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.32.1:</p>

<p>Adam Hartley, Andy Dougherty, Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, Dan Book, David Mitchell, Graham Knop, Graham Ollis, Hauke D, H.Merijn Brand, Hugo van der Sanden, John Lightsey, Karen Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Max Maischein, Nicolas R., Ricardo Signes, Richard Leach, Sawyer X, Sevan Janiyan, Steve Hay, Tom Hukins, Tony Cook.</p>

<p>The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug tracker.</p>

<p>Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules included in Perl&#39;s core. We&#39;re grateful to the entire CPAN community for helping Perl to flourish.</p>

<p>For a more complete list of all of Perl&#39;s historical contributors, please see the <i>AUTHORS</i> file in the Perl source distribution.</p>
